Chapter 17: Chapter 17: I Can’t Just Let This Go

After all, Yu Nuannuan was the beloved daughter of Yu Hai and Chen Qiaoqin. Their love for her was absolutely genuine, so Xu Shuhua felt reassured leaving Nuannuan in their care.

“Alright! You two be careful from now on. Try not to let Nuannuan get her hands on any seeds or plants, otherwise someone might notice something.”

Chen Qiaoqin and Yu Hai exchanged a glance, then praised Xu Shuhua in unison, “Mom, you really think of everything!”

Xu Shuhua affectionately stroked Yu Nuannuan’s little face. “Hurry up and get Nuannuan down for her nap. We’ve wasted so much time, look how sleepy she is—she can barely keep her eyes open. Just leave the eggplant in your room for now. Qiaoqin, after we’ve all left, wash and cut it up, and cook it for dinner tonight.”

Such a huge eggplant would definitely raise eyebrows if anyone saw it. To avoid any trouble, it was best to just eat it.

Yu Nuannuan had been a little worried, afraid that Xu Shuhua and Yu Hai would see her as some kind of monster.

But after hearing the three of them talk, Yu Nuannuan finally relaxed, her worries melting away. She even started to feel drowsy.

She didn’t even need Chen Qiaoqin to coax her—Yu Nuannuan drifted off into a sweet sleep on her own.

When Yu Nuannuan woke up, it was already mid-afternoon. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a round, chubby, rosy little face.

She didn’t even need to look closely to know it was Gu Mo.

Speaking of Gu Mo, he was great in every way except for his luck. Not only did he have a foolishly filial father, but also a weak-willed mother, biased grandparents, and a truly awful uncle.

Yu Nuannuan hadn’t thought much of it before, but now that she did, she realized—wasn’t Gu Mo basically living the life of a tragic novel heroine?

Plus, Gu Mo really was good-looking. If it weren’t for his gender, he’d totally fit the part of a female lead.

When Gu Mo opened his eyes, he saw Yu Nuannuan grinning happily.

Gu Mo frowned slightly. “What are you laughing at?”

As he spoke, Gu Mo rolled over and sat up, frowning at Yu Nuannuan. “You kicked me this morning.”

Yu Nuannuan’s smile froze. This little kid was so tiny, yet not only did he have a good memory, he even held grudges?

How was that cute at all!

Gu Mo had no idea what Yu Nuannuan was thinking. He just kept talking, “But since you’re just a clueless baby, I won’t hold it against you.”

Yu Nuannuan blinked.

Was there a hidden meaning in that?

“I ended up here out of nowhere and became a newborn baby. Is it the same for you?”

“You have magical powers—are you really a reincarnated fairy?”

“But you don’t seem like you have memories from before!”

“Could it be you drank the soup of forgetfulness before reincarnating?”

Gu Mo propped his chubby little hands under his chin, deep in thought. His string of questions left Yu Nuannuan’s little brain in a complete tangle.

Wait, what?!

He… he… he transmigrated too?!

Yu Nuannuan’s eyes went wide and round, but even that didn’t seem enough to express her shock.

“Ah!”

Yu Nuannuan wanted to ask Gu Mo how he got here, and where he was from before.

But when she opened her mouth, all that came out was an “ah.”

Yu Nuannuan closed her mouth in frustration. Being a baby was really tough.

At six months old, she really couldn’t talk.

Gu Mo seemed to snap back to reality at her “ah.” He lowered his eyes to look at Yu Nuannuan.

From Yu Nuannuan’s angle, Gu Mo’s long lashes looked just like little fans.

“Even if you are a fairy, you still kicked me. I can’t just let this go.”"
